<a href="https://www.ymzfh.com/obituary/James-Lee-Hayes">Obituary for James Lee Hayes | Yazel-Megli Funeral Homes (ymzfh.com)</a>

James Lee “Jas” Hayes, 86, of Santa Maria, California, passed away Sunday, March 7, 2021, at the home of Mina Yavari, his loving partner for the past 20 years. Two weeks earlier, “Jas” and Mina spent five happy days in Las Vegas doing what he and she loved best, playing poker together.

James Lee Hayes was born on June 19, 1934, the son of Horace and Marietta “Etta” Hayes in Whitewater, Kansas, a small country town of 495 people. Jas loved the outdoors and fishing for bass. He graduated from Whitewater High Class of 1952. After high school, he worked for Beech Aircraft in Wichita and married Edith Hall raising four children, James “Jimmy”, Mark, Renelle and Jennifer. Working by day and studying at night, Jas graduated from Wichita State University with a degree in accounting, and later received his CPA license.

After moving to southern California in 1975, he settled down in Santa Maria and founded his own CPA accounting firm which he ran successfully for over 35 years before retiring in 2019. A pilot of small planes, he loved flying all over California to explore new places visiting friends and family along the way. His favorite song and motto: “I Did It My Way.” And he did.

Jas is survived by his four children, James “Jimmy”, Mark, Renelle, and Jennifer; four adopted children, Savannah, Christine, Cheyenne, and Cory; seven grandchildren, Alisa, Justin, Benjamin, Dillon, Logan, Diego and Hannah; four great-grandchildren, Landon, Adelyn, Vivian and Victoria; brother Larry Hayes of Campbell, California and a sister, Pat Hayes of Kechi, Kansas.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions in his name (in the memo line) may be directed to California Nature Conservancy in care of Lamb Funeral Home, P.O. Box 358, Whitewater, Kansas 67154.

Robert Leon Steimel, 74, of Concordia, Kansas, died April 23, 2021. Bob was born December 4, 1946, in Dodge City, Kansas, the son and oldest child of Herman and Waneta Vogel Steimel.&nbsp; He was the oldest grandchild of Martin and Adela Vogel and Adolph and Anna Steimel.&nbsp;

The oldest of six children, “Bobby” was an early leader, and close to his siblings for his entire life.&nbsp; He graduated from Claflin High School in 1964, and went on to be the first in his family to graduate college in his family with a bachelor of accounting from FHSU in 1968, and then an MBA from KSU in 1973.&nbsp; He joined Kennedy and Coe, LLC in 1973, working first in Colby, KS then moving to Concordia, where he became managing partner.&nbsp; He worked for Kennedy and Coe, LLC for 29 years before retiring in 2002.&nbsp; He was a lifetime member of the Kansas Association of CPAs and the American Institute of CPAs.&nbsp;

He served in the Army as a Specialist 5th&nbsp;Class from 1968 to 1971, and during that time was stationed in both Turkey (NATO) and the state of Washington.&nbsp;

Bob married Maridell Goings, in 1970 in Claflin, KS. &nbsp;From their marriage, Bob and Maridell have four children, fourteen grandchildren, and one great-grandson. He enjoyed being a father, teasing his children with his wry sense of humor, attending their plays, concerts, and sporting events, and taking them to KSU games.&nbsp; Maridell preceded him in death in 1996. &nbsp;Bob remarried&nbsp; in 2006, to Lorene Baxa in Concordia, KS.&nbsp; They loved to travel to visit their children and grandchildren in all parts of the country.

Throughout his life, Bob served on numerous committees, boards, and organizations,&nbsp; notably, the Knights of Columbus, reaching 4th&nbsp;degree navigator within the Knights and serving as District Deputy from 2010-2014; Rotary, serving as local president and then District Governor; the Cloud County Community College Foundation; Cloud Corp; and St. Joseph Hospital Board.&nbsp; He started the CCCC auction in 1981 and founded the Notre Dame Scholarship Trust with OLPH.

In Bob’s view, his greatest gift to the community of Concordia was the Community Foundation for Cloud County that he founded in 2002.&nbsp; Bob worked tirelessly for 19 years to build the Foundation to the entity it is today, establishing a lasting gift that will benefit the area for years to come.

Surviving family include his wife Lorene; daughter Rodella (Della) Strait and her children, Kirstin, Zachary, and Keidra and grandson Parker of Concordia.

<a href="https://www.ryanmortuary.com/obituary/Darlene-Wighs">Obituary for Darlene Alette (Dirks) Wighs | Ryan Mortuary</a>

Darlene Alette Wighs, 87, of Salina, went home to her savior, Jesus Christ, on Friday, April 23, 2021.&nbsp; She passed away peacefully at her home, surrounded by loved ones.&nbsp; Darlene was born on March 6, 1934, in Richey, Montana, to the late Lawrence Randolph Dirks and Selma Pearl (Mickelson) Dirks.

She was preceded in death by her husband Leslie Wighs; son Jerry Wighs; daughter-in-law, Freida Wighs; infant daughter Sheree Wighs; and cousin Harris Olson.

Darlene grew up in Montana, Washington, and North Dakota farm country, alongside her younger brother Lonny, and older cousin Harris.

Darlene attended high school in Velva, North Dakota.&nbsp; It was there that she met her sweetheart and future husband of fifty years, Leslie Robert Wighs.&nbsp; Together they had three children: Terry, Jerry, and Sheree.&nbsp; The family shared countless adventures across the country, traveling for work and living in several states.&nbsp; Some of her family’s fondest memories include trips to the beach, campfires at night, and waking up to the smell of cooking bacon and eggs over the campfire.

One of Darlene’s greatest accomplishments in life was working for NASA and JPL, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, in La Canada, California.&nbsp; She worked at the forefront of space technology as a JPL technician.&nbsp; Darlene worked on Voyager I and Voyager II, as well as the Viking Project.&nbsp; She was one of two women selected to join the reassembling team for launch at Cape Canaveral, Florida.

In her later years, Darlene was a loving grandmother and granny.&nbsp; She adored her time spent with her “sweeties.” Treasured memories include fishing, boating, swimming, camping, riding the three-wheeler, enjoying her incredible cooking, playing cribbage and other card games, lots of cuddling, and secret trips to the toy store.

Darlene will be remembered for her bright and beautiful smile, contagious laughter, and incredible soprano voice.&nbsp; She was everyone’s number one fan.&nbsp; Never without her lipstick, she carried herself with style and grace.&nbsp; She will be dearly missed.

Survivors include her son Dr. Terry Wighs (Debbie); brother Lonny Dirks (Sandy); granddaughters Sarah Sullivan (Derek) and Kathryn Shaft (Travis); grandsons Robert Wighs (Kelly) and Josh Wighs; niece Kim White (Mark); and nephews Darren (Roberta) and Justin (Mallorie); great-granddaughters Brynn, Elin, and Paige Shaft; and great-grandsons Tommy and Sam.
